The 2000s

Edit 0 9 …
I have included information about how many abortion deaths were noted by the Centers for Disease Control. You will note that there are many abortion deaths that have not met the public eye during this period.

By the end of the 1980s, abortion deaths had fallen to the current average of around 10 per year. Most of these are due to malpractice and are thus preventable. However, the current political atmosphere of turning a blind eye to abortion quackery makes it highly unlikely that problems that cause abortion deaths will ever be addressed.
